gollark: This is scarily like incoherent blog posts on programming things.

gollark: If it wasn't for the awful error handling, general attitude of distrust of the programmer, lol no generics, poor type system, bad dependency management, beelike syntax, channels, and claims of "simplicity", I might actually use Go, even!

gollark: Go has *some* things going for it, like the moderately fast compiler and extensive libraries.

gollark: Why would they not know about bee documentation book #35636?
